Knowledge Base

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic one. It may overestimate fatness in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate valid fat in older adults with lost muscle.

What if I am outside this range?

Being slightly outside this range isn't automatically unhealthy. Consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment including waist circumference and blood markers.
